We Believe in Crafting Cherished Childhoods.
Our Story
"My passion for childcare began long before starting this company — I’ve always had a deep love for working with children, especially those with disabilities."
Hi, I’m Keiara Pusey, the proud founder and owner of Kidz Haven Babysitting!
With a background in child welfare, behavioral assistance, and special needs education, I saw firsthand the growing need for compassionate, well-trained caregivers who truly understand the importance of patience, safety, and individualized care.
I started Kidz Haven Babysitting in 2021 to create a safe, nurturing, and reliable space for families to find quality care for their children.
As the company grew, I expanded my team with dedicated caregivers who share my passion for supporting children, the elderly, and adults with disabilities.
My Approach to Childcare
I believe that every child deserves to feel safe, valued, and encouraged to reach their full potential. Whether it’s engaging in play-based learning, fostering independence, or simply being a positive role model, I strive to ensure that every child in our care feels loved and supported.
My experience in hospice care and family support services has also strengthened my ability to provide compassionate guidance to families facing unique challenges.

FAQ
At Kidz Haven Babysitting, we take great pride in selecting highly qualified, experienced, and trustworthy caregivers. Our nannies and babysitters are recruited through online advertising, Indeed, and word-of-mouth referrals to ensure we find dedicated professionals who are passionate about childcare.
Every nanny and babysitter must pass a comprehensive screening process, which includes:
• Criminal background checks (national and county-level searches)
• Civil background checks (identifying restraining orders, evictions, custody issues, etc.)
• Driving record checks
• CPR & First Aid certification (required for all caregivers)
• A minimum of one year of professional experience working with children
• Thorough reference checks to verify experience and reliability

If you have a set, consistent schedule, we will ensure you have the same nanny every time, with the only exception being if the nanny is sick or out of town. This consistency helps build a strong bond between the nanny and your child, providing a stable and familiar environment.
For families using our services for sporadic needs, such as emergencies or date nights, we cannot guarantee the same nanny each time. However, we make every effort to send the same caregiver whenever possible, as we believe consistency is vital for the well-being of your child.
If the nanny you’ve previously used is unavailable, we will assign another equally qualified nanny and provide you with their profile, photo, and references ahead of time to ensure you’re comfortable with the new caregiver.
At Kidz Haven Babysitting, we understand that our job goes beyond just caring for your children; it also involves ensuring that your home remains in good condition while you’re away. While we are not a cleaning service, it is reasonable to ask your nanny to assist with tasks related to daily upkeep during their shift.
Our nannies will gladly take care of the following:
• Cleaning up any messes made by the child and themselves during the shift
• Ensuring your home is tidy and that you don’t return to a mess
Our general rule of thumb is to leave your home in better condition than it was when the sitter arrived. This reflects our commitment to providing not only excellent childcare but also respect for your space and home.
